This is not that big of a deal but I thought it made little sense so I thought I post about it. Why so little xp for the Mutant Behemoths? I have to waste massive amounts of ammo to take it down. 15-20 times the next strongest thing I have encountered, yet I only get 86xp(I don't know what the base is, I have a number of xp perks). With the time It takes to kill it and the ammunition I use I could kill a whole gang of super mutants and get 4 or 5 times that much xp. You do get alot of loot so it not that ridiculous, but it still makes no sense to me. Hell with the all the ghouls sometimes running around at night you can get massive xp quite easily with alot of ammunition and a machine gun, the same needed to kill the big mutant.
And the reason I said its not that big of a deal is because when I kill one I can just use the console to add xp based on what I think I deserve. If a whole bunch of people helped me take it down(I have travelers mod) I give myself less, if its just me I get around 350xp(what I give myself+86). With all the loot that it drops it might be a bit high, but it evens out because I give less if I am helped, which except for a few perks the game does not normally take into account how much you did to kill something, just that you contributed will get you full xp. So a normal base amount of 200 I think would be reasonable, I have not come across a Gargantuan yet, but I assume even higher for that thing.
